Kevin Minter

News

Cardinals general manager Steve Keim said Wedneday that the team "needs to address" the linebacker position in this year's draft, adding that 2013 second-round pick Kevin Minter has to elevate his game, The Times-Picayune reports.

"We drafted Kevin Minter in the second round a few years back and we have high expectations for Kevin," Keim said Wednesday. "But he's got to step up his game. There are two types of linebackers. There are the mike linebackers, the heavy-legged guys, the more downhill thumper types. Then you have the more athletic, will linebacker types who can run and cover and may not be as physical at the point of attack. Those are two necessary positions for us that we need to address."

Minter recorded 45 tackles in 2014 while making five starts in his 16 appearances. Coach Bruce Arians also addressed the linebacker Thursday, saying that the team needs to "continue to develop Kevin Minter into a better player."

Grice had just one carry for one yard and a touchdown. It was initally called a fumble on the field, with the ball popping out as Grice stretched for the end zone. However, it was overturned and called a touchdown.

The new deal reduces Fitzgerald's cap number in 2015 from $23.6 million to $10.85 million.

Patrick Peterson

News

Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson said it's possible he could return punts this season.

Peterson didn't return punts a year ago as Tedd Ginn did. With Ginn gone, it's an open competition and one that even the team's star cornerback could wind up getting.

In his career, Peterson has totaled 1,323 punt return yards and four touchdowns.

"Honestly, I do think there’s a decent chance,” Peterson told the Cardinals' website. “Now that we have nothing but young guys, I’ll be the vet who understands these types of situations – how to handle those sky punts, how to handle those backed-up punts. I think there’s a very, very high percentage chance that I’ll get at least a couple this year.”

Thomas appeared in two games for Arizona last year, going 1 for 9 for 81 yards and a touchdown. Harnish has been a backup for the first three seasons of his career with the Colts and Vikings and has not appeared in a game.

Carson Palmer

News

Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer proclaimed himself completely recovered from the knee injury that cut last season short.

Palmer has been working out with wide receiver John Brown and has noticed no lingering effects from last season's ACL tear.

"I’m not even thinking about my knee,” Palmer said, per AZCardinals.com. “I’m still rehabbing just to be on the safe side of things but I don’t need to be at rehab. I’m full go in the weight room, full go on the field, and until it’s brought up, I haven’t thought about everything I'm not doing, because I'm doing everything I was doing."

Redding, 34, spent the past three seasons with the Colts and tallied 3 1/2 sacks in 2014. Redding started his career in Detroit after being selected in the third round of the 2003 draft. He spent the 2010 and 2011 seasons with the Ravens.

Troy Niklas, last year's second-round pick, and Darren Fells are currently the only tight ends on the team who caught passes in 2014, combining for eight receptions and 109 yards during the regular season.

"I think Andre will continue his same role," Arians said. "We’ll keep him healthy and let him continue to develop as a player, but the nice thing David can do is he can do everything Andre does, so you don’t have to change if there was an injury."

Ellington served as a three-down back for the Cardinals last season, but averaged just 3.3 yards per carry while racking up 660 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns. He also gained 395 yards on 46 receptions while scoring two touchdowns through the air. After racking up eight carries of at least 20 yards in just 118 attempts in his rookie season, Ellington managed just four carries of 20-plus yards while receiving nearly twice the workload in 2014.

Williams finally earned a shot last season Arizona, his third team in three years. He rushed for 246 yards and a 4.6 per-carry average.

David Johnson

News

Cardinals rookie running back David Johnson got a chance to impress his coaches and teammates in Tuesday's minicamp. With injuries all around the Cardinals' backfield, Johnson was able to take center stage.

"I think he brings a little bit of a change of pace," quarterback Carson Palmer said of Johnson, per ESPN.com. "I don't think there's a big drop off in the pass game stuff because he catches the ball so well and has a natural route-running style and gait about it."

The third-round pick showed some versatility on Tuesday. He took a pass from Palmer, and, later in practice, went out as a wide out in the backfield.

Johnson is contending with Kerwynn Williams and Stepfan Taylor for playting time. But with Williams and Taylor sidelined with injuries, Johnson is getting a chance to show what he can do.

Woodley wa cut by the Raiders this offseason after signing with them last offseason. He had just five tackles last season with the Raiders, and 304 tackles (57 sacks) through eight seasons in the league. He had five sacks over his first six games of the 2013 season, and none in his last 11 games.

It turned out he had a reason for the struggles. Tests showed that he had 20/50 vision in one eye and 20/100 vision in the other.

“The doctor actually said, ‘It’s amazing that you’re here, with your eyesight that bad and playing quarterback on top of it,’ ” Sims said, per AZCardinals.com.

Sims is being fitted with corrective lenses which will help ... they think.

“The doctor was like, ‘Two things can happen: You can do the corrective lenses and it can make you that much better, or it can freak you out because you’re not used to seeing so much stuff,’ ” Sims said. “They want to test me out to see how I respond to it.”

Michael Floyd

Sean Weatherspoon

News

Linebacker Sean Weatherspoon was signed by the Cardinals in free agency this offseason. He has high hopes that he'll rebound after rupturing his achilles tendon in 2014 while with the Falcons, according to the team's official website.

“Once it happened, I figured I’d come back from this,” Weatherspoon said. “That’s what I told myself when I was sitting there down and out looking at everything that was happening. I was down, but I was ultimately thinking about the comeback.”

In addition to missing all of the 2014 season, the 27-year-old missed all but seven games in 2013. The linebacker is optimistic that the time off could benefit him on the field.

“Mike Peterson played linebacker in the league for a long time, and he was a guy who took me under his wing in my rookie year in the league,” Weatherspoon said. “He would come out and he would make some plays, and I’d be like, ‘Man, how you still do that after so much time off and not even being the starter anymore, but you’re still able to just go out there and make it happen?’ He said, ‘It’s just like riding a bike.’

“I just have to get back to practicing a little bit more and being on that steady routine, but I definitely think it saved my legs being off of them for the past two years. I’m just looking forward to going out there and trying to reestablish myself as being the player that I am.”

In four years with the Falcons, Weatherspoon recorded 290 total tackles, eight sacks, 15 passes defensed, two interceptions and one forced fumble.
